In the previous post I covered the “semi-passive” way for authentication between a Windows Phone 7 client and a REST service. This post completes the information with the “active” way. There’s nothing unexpected here really: We call the Identity Provider using a RequestSecurityToken message (RST) We...

In the last drop, we included a sample that demonstrates how to secure a REST web service with ACS, and a client calling that service running in a different security realm: In this case, ACS is the bridge between the WS-Trust/SAML world (Litware in the diagram) and the REST/SWT side (Adatum’s a-Order...
